PSICAN is a resource for those interested in a serious discussion of events characterised by many as paranormal in nature. We take a neutral view on things and work towards a discussion of these experiences from an academic point of view...

Canada has a robust history of sightings of UFOs beginning in many eyes even before European exploration. We continue to look into these sightings from both an archival viewpoint and a discussion of hypothetical causation of these experiences.

From psychical events to ghostly experiences to run-ins with strange creatures to sightings of odd things in the sky, PSICAN endeavours to be a stopping point for Canadians on the most often reported experiences of the paranormal.

Ghosts and hauntings are one of the most commonly reported experiences of those who run into events we currently consider paranormal in nature. PSICAN and it's daughter sites all contain excellent archival notes and reports for you to look through.

Please note: from March 2005 - December 2015 PSICAN was known as Paranormal Studies and Investigations Canada, and you may come across older documents pre - January 2016 on this and other resources that still use the name Paranormal Studies and Investigations Canada in reference to PSICAN. Although Paranormal Studies and Investigations Canada is still us, as of January 2016 we will be using the word "inquiry" to better express our goals, mission and work.

The paranormal is "...beset by True Believers ('They must be, therefore they are!') and True Unbelievers ('They can't be, therefore they aren't!') Rare are those who pursue evidence wherever it may lead, no matter how the results may square with their cherished hopes and dreams. Ironically, both the TBists and the TUists see themselves as champions of objective analysis and critical thinking, when in fact they are defenders of their respective faiths and, not incidentally, their egos." - Karl Pflock
